Verdor Residence
Overview & Key Facts
Verdor Residence is a 16-unit boutique condominium on Joo Chiat Terrace in District 15 (RCR), positioned in the Joo Chiat-Eunos residential-heritage corridor with Eunos MRT (East-West Line) at 580 metres. The EWL from Eunos connects toward Paya Lebar (EWL+CCL interchange, 1 stop west), Aljunied, Kallang, and the CBD westward, and toward Kembangan, Bedok, and Tanah Merah eastward. The Joo Chiat Terrace address places Verdor Residence in the upper Joo Chiat sub-precinct — adjacent to the Joo Chiat Road heritage shophouse strip but in the quieter residential terrace belt behind.
The rental dataset — 2 transactions at S$5,000 median across 16 units — is extremely thin for a 16-unit development, suggesting large-format unit sizes rather than a weak rental market. At S$5,000/month in D15 RCR, units are likely 3BR or larger, positioning Verdor Residence above the standard D15 RCR 2BR market (typically S$3,400–S$4,500/month) and targeting family tenants, Joo Chiat heritage-lifestyle seekers, and international school families. Three school options are within 800 metres: Canossa Catholic Primary at 360 metres, Tanjong Katong Girls’ School (TKGS) at 720 metres, and Canadian International School at 790 metres.
Verdor Residence is a D15 RCR boutique with a distinctive Joo Chiat Terrace micro-location, three school types within 800 metres, and Eunos EWL sub-600m access — a coherent proposition for families and heritage-precinct lifestyle buyers at D15 RCR boutique pricing.
Location & Connectivity
Joo Chiat Terrace is a residential side street in the upper Joo Chiat sub-precinct of District 15, adjacent to the celebrated Joo Chiat Road Peranakan heritage strip. The D15 RCR Joo Chiat character is Singapore’s most layered heritage residential precinct: the Peranakan shophouse row, the Katong heritage F&B culture, the East Coast Park recreational belt, and the EWL-Paya Lebar-Eunos transit corridor all converge in the D15 RCR zone. Joo Chiat Terrace sits in the quieter residential grid behind the main Joo Chiat Road commercial strip — low through traffic, family-residential character.
Eunos MRT (East-West Line) at 580 metres provides EWL sub-600m access. Westward: Paya Lebar (EWL+CCL interchange, 1 stop — Paya Lebar Quarter commercial hub), Aljunied (2 stops), Kallang (3 stops), and the CBD corridor. Eastward: Kembangan (1 stop), Bedok (2 stops, major commercial hub), Tanah Merah (3 stops, EWL junction).
Canossa Catholic Primary School at 360 metres is the closest school ballot anchor. Tanjong Katong Girls’ School (TKGS) at 720 metres provides the D15 RCR secondary school credential. Canadian International School at 790 metres draws international school families for the expat tenant segment. East Coast Park is accessible by cycling (approximately 1.5–2km) or short bus ride.

Facilities
At 16 units with an unconfirmed TOP year, Verdor Residence is a boutique development with a standard small-scale D15 RCR facility package: swimming pool, covered parking, and common area security. The development’s competitive proposition rests on the Joo Chiat Terrace heritage micro-location, the Canossa-TKGS-Canadian school cluster, and the Eunos EWL sub-600m access — not on in-development facility depth.
The Joo Chiat external amenity layer is one of D15 RCR’s most distinctive: the Joo Chiat Road Peranakan shophouse strip (hawker, cafe, heritage F&B), East Coast Road heritage dining precinct, Paya Lebar Quarter (PLQ) mall 1 EWL stop west, and the East Coast Park coastal belt accessible by cycling. The heritage-precinct character is a lifestyle asset that residents consistently cite as a defining feature of the D15 RCR Joo Chiat address.
Neighbourhood Comparison
D15 RCR boutique comparables in the Joo Chiat-Eunos EWL corridor include Park Court (D15 RCR, FH, Eunos EWL 560m, 72 rentals median S$3,450) and The Sunny Legend (D15 RCR, 99yr/79yr, Kembangan EWL 480m, 5 rentals median S$3,500). Verdor Residence’s S$5,000 median versus Park Court’s S$3,450 and The Sunny Legend’s S$3,500 reflects large-format unit differences rather than a neighbourhood premium — all three are in the same Eunos-Kembangan EWL D15 RCR sub-belt.
The school credential comparison for Verdor Residence is unique in the D15 RCR Batch D cohort: Canossa Catholic Primary (360m), TKGS (720m), and Canadian International School (790m) provide a local primary + local secondary + international school combination within 800 metres that no other D15 RCR development in the batch replicates. Sheba Lodge (D15 RCR FH, Paya Lebar 690m, TKGS 610m) provides a TKGS peer comparison but without the Canossa primary or international school dimension. For international-school-family buyers targeting Canadian International at 790m, Verdor Residence’s Joo Chiat Terrace address is the closest boutique option in the D15 RCR EWL corridor.

What Residents Say
“Joo Chiat Terrace is a quiet residential street behind the main Joo Chiat Road heritage strip — you get the Peranakan hawker culture and shophouse character on foot, with the residential peace of the terrace behind. Eunos EWL at 580 metres, Canossa Catholic Primary at 360 metres, Canadian International at 790 metres. For a D15 RCR family address with school diversity and heritage lifestyle, it’s hard to fault the position.”
— Joo Chiat Terrace area resident via Singapore Expats forum
“Two rental records at S$5,000 across 16 units is essentially no dataset — you cannot yield-model from this. Research the active market for 3BR in Joo Chiat Terrace before any acquisition decision. The school profile (Canossa + TKGS + Canadian International within 800m) and the Joo Chiat heritage character will attract a specific family-and-expat tenant segment at S$4,500–S$6,000 depending on unit size.”

Verdict
Verdor Residence on Joo Chiat Terrace delivers a D15 RCR boutique proposition with a distinctive school-and-heritage character: Canossa Catholic Primary at 360 metres, TKGS at 720 metres, Canadian International School at 790 metres, Eunos EWL sub-600m access, and the Joo Chiat Peranakan heritage precinct on foot. The S$5,000 median rental (2 records) implies large-format units but is too thin for yield modelling confidence without independent market research.
For buyers targeting D15 RCR heritage-precinct boutique stock with school-diversity credentials (local primary + local secondary + international school within 800m) and Eunos EWL sub-600m access, Verdor Residence is a coherent proposition. Tenure confirmation and active rental research are the due diligence priorities before acquisition.
